Most secondaries have this essay topic:

"Please state if there is anything of particular importance that the Admissions Committee should know about you."

I feel I have painted a clear and complete picture of myself with my "primary" AADSAS application. I guess I could elaborate and go into more detail about myself, but I feel that it would be overkill at this point. How does everyone else feel about this question? What do you think adcoms are looking for with this essay prompt?
 
is this a secondary for missouri?

i dont think its necessary to write an entire paragraph...but perhaps you could just finish off with a strong statement along the lines of I am a hard-worker and it is my utmost desire to become the best dentist I can be...or something like that.
 
Ya, I was thinking about how to answer this question. I think I am just going to write anything about me that wasn't included in the primary nor the secondary.
 
I think this is really for if you left anything important out of your app / personal statement, or possibly a place to elaborate or point out factors that you may have listed in the "has anything negatively impacted your academic performance" section of the original app.

I totally agree with you on that. I don't think adcoms put that section for people to tell them how bad they want to get into dental school or how a good student they are, or things like that. I think it's mostly for academic performance stuff or if in the past u were convicted of some kinda crime or something.
